Why we need ABAP if we can connect With Crystal Reports to SAP R/3

Hi,
I am new to Crystal reports.I came to know that we can connect SAP R/3 by using SAP InfoSet,SAP Table Cluster and Function connectivity in Crystal Reports.So we can generate reports for SAP R/3 database with out need of ABAP.So why we need to go ABAP module.Is there any disadvantages if we dont use ABAP to generate reports or we can use always Crystal Reports to generate Reports for R/3 database?

Hi,
it is correct that you can built a Crystal Report without the need to use ABAP, but we have lots of customers that have invested over the years into ABAP Routines and Crystal REports is able to leverage those as well. So with Crystal Reports you have the choice to leverage existing ABAP Functions as a source for reporting - which might help to leverage complex processing on the backend - or to use InfoSets and tables.

Connection between Crystal Report and SAP ECC

Hi. can you help me please.
I'm testing the connection between Crystal Report and SAP ECC. I tried using the tables,
but by making the links between foreign keys does not bring data. The other way I tried was using an ABAP function module,
but using this way, Crystal will only works like a Presentation Layer because all the work was did it in ABAP;
besides that shows the limitation that I can not pass as input a table.
what is the best practice for reporting on SAP ECC using Crystal Report?
Thanks.

Hi,
Crystal Reports is able to leverage tables, ABAP functions, SAP query and InfoSets.
what is the issue when using the tables ?

I can't find Crystal report on SAP 8.8 menu bar ?

I am trying SAP 8.8 demo. Where is Crystal report on SAP 8.8 ? I can't find Crystal report on SAP 8.8 menu bar ? anybody told me location of crystal report on menu bar ?

Hi,
There is no option anywhere in SBO8.8 as "Crystal report" if you want to use it go to windows start ->program files->SAP Business One you can see there Crystal Report 2008 menu. Once you designed your report in Crystal then you can import it in SBO 8.8 through "Report and Layout Manager" in Administration -> Setup -> General. You can not open Crystal directly from SBO.
Thanks

ODBC Connectivity with Crystal Reports 2009 and MySQL

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. We are currently running Crystal Reports CR Developer version 9.2.2.693 with an ODBC connection (ODBC 3.51 driver) to a My SQL database, version 4.0.18.*
We want to upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008, CR Developer version 12.0.0.683, however when I try to run reports to the current database, I get the following error:
*Database Connector Error: 2300:[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-4.0.18-nt]You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near .client where 0=1 at line 1 [Database Vendor Code: 1064] *
Has anyone encoutered this before? Do I need to get a different rev. ODBC driver? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your suggestion, but since the same query works when I use Crytal Reports 9 to the same MySQL database, I don't think that's the issue. I wonder if it has to do with the driver.

If possible please tell me the details how to used appropriat connection on both client and server (if possible step by step).
Thanks in advance

is your report running inside SAP b1 or directly from crystal report in system where you developed it
In Client you need to install .net framework 3.5 and Crystal Run time to run reports.
in the client make sure the shared directory is accessible from run without any password
and in the add on go to report properties and set the path to the shared folder .rpt files and apply changes
use OLE DB connection

Connecting to crystal report via JDBC

Hi,
I am new to Crystal Reports. I want to connect to MSSQL Database using JDBC drivers. I was wondering if there is a way I can use JDBC drivers for connection with Crystal Reports when designing the report ?
Thanks
Sherif

Hi Sheriff,
I am not aware of CR 9 as it is out of support. But in CRXIR2 and CR2008 you can simply do it while creating new report. In the wizard you just need to select JDBC(JNDI) option under Create new connection.
After that just specify the connection url and JDBC class name.
I would suggest you to upgrade your product to CR2008 as it has excellent new features which would realy help you with the same.

I want to buy airport express, but i need to know if my sony smart tv can connect with it?, i want to buy airport express, but i need to know if my sony smart tv can connect with it?

i want to buy airport express for my ipad and iphone, but i need to know if my sony smart tv and my sister's phone can connect with it?

It would be difficult to guarentee that all wireless devices can connect to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), so at best, your Sony Smart TV and your sister's phone SHOULD be able to connect ... as the AX is basically no different than any other manufacturers wireless router.

Is there a limit as to how many devices you can connect with Edge Inspect?

Is there a limit as to how many mobile devices you can connect with Edge Inspect?
Also, do we need a dedicated wi fi hub for all these devices? Are there any wi fi limitations with connecting more than 20 devices and connecting to wi-fi?
Thanks

The free version of Edge Inspect limits you to connecting to one device concurrently. (You can certainly disconnect from that one and connect to another if you wish, but it's just one at a time.)
If you purchase an Edge Inspect subscription, or have a paid Creative Cloud membership, then you can connect an unlimited number of devices concurrently. (Note that I have seen up to 35 connected at once.)
For info on purchasing options, see this blog post: http://blogs.adobe.com/edgeinspect/2012/10/23/how-to-purchase-edge-inspect/
It does not have to be a decicated wifi router, although it certainly can if that makes sense for you. For example, at my home I have a single wifi router that I always use for my laptops and video streaming devices, with my desktop computer connected to the same router on Ethernet, and I can connect my 5 tablets and 2 mobile phones to Edge Inspect on the same router with no issues.
My router says it can support up to 250 connections at once (Ethernet + wifi); however, I have nowhere near that many devices so I could not put that to the test. I think a more reasonable limit is around 30; however, that is just based on having to share bandwidth. You might want to check what your router says is its limit.
Just keep in mind that the more devices you have downloading data, the slower the performance will be.

Changed to secure - can connect with mac but not pc running vista

I changed my wrt54gs from unsecured to secure by changing the wireless > wireless security > to security mode: WPA personal, the wpa algorithms is set to TKIP, i set up a password in the shared key area and the group key is set to 3600. I saved the changes and now i can connect with the password with a macbook pro as well as with a ipod touch but i cant connect with a laptop running windows vista. I would get an error saying unable to connect, funny thing is though i am connect (and it is the correct router, not a neighbors) but it says connected with limited access. I tried to run diagnostics and repair but to no avail. Any thoughts on what to door is limited access ok?
thanks,
Dave

Try this :
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Network and Sharing Center >> Manage Wireless Networks, here remove all the networks present and close the Window...
Click on Connect to a Network and try to re-connect to your Network, it should ask for your Network Key/Password, enter the correct password/network key and click Connect...
It should connect...Once you are connected you should restart the computer, it should connect to Internet...

I need to know how to connect with my Black Berry

Hi good morning, A few days ago I bought a 3rd generation ipad with wifi and I need to know how to connect with my Black Berry, as if this were the modem. Regards and thanks

The BB has to be set up as a wifi hotspot. After you do that just connect the iPad to the wifi network created on the BB the same way you connect to any other wifi network.

Why is atv slow to buffer after connecting with cat5 cable

Update on some things I have tried
As I am not sure the cause, I have been reading and trying different things, last thing was to set the interfaces to Duplex Full
I did this on both the Ethernet ports on the routers, and both of the Fast Ethernet ports being used on the switch, but has not changed the speed that PC1 is getting.
Also turned on CEF on both routers

Any suggestions on how to get wifi to work? I have a multitech router and can connect with a computer wirelessly but not the ipad.
